Campers

Twelve dots in the Hot Topics sim turned out to be nine campers, five of them empty-profile, and the owner (away) at a nearly-empty store. One more empty-profile avatar was in a nearby empty field. All the camping spots were taken, so perhaps he's waiting or lost. There was also someone driving a police car through the sim's open spaces.
